good evening Bezz, How are you?

Things are pretty lively in here.

Have we traded Bieksa yet?

WOW!! Dallas's record in their own division 0-7-3

Darren Dreger was on Edmonton’s TSN 1260 on Thursday morning.

As part of a larger discussion on the Vancouver Canucks’ five-game losing skid:

“They made considerable changes. And I think there’s more to come here. Jim Benning isn’t a guy who spends a lot of time connecting with media and feeding the speculation and all of that. But I do hear that he is in the market. I can’t tell you exactly what he’s looking for because it’s not that specific. But I have heard rumblings that he and Pete Chiarelli are connecting in Boston. I know Boston is really hungry to do something. They’re looking for a top-six, top-nine forward.

“So, who knows? Maybe this type of setback will force management in Vancouver to take a harder look at what they’ve got. They’re not going to get it done in the next 24 hours here, before the holiday freeze, but managers who stop trying to improve are usually managers who are looking for work in a short period of time and I know Benning is a hard worker.”

Dreger sucks balls. that guy is never right about the Canucks. He admitted if i recall correctly, that he doesn't stay up to watch any games on the west coast referencing the Canucks and that was when the West Coast Express and Sedinery were tearing up the league... what chance does that joker have of finding any real information or providing insight into the the team now....

all he does is make up stuff about the Canucks like a turd....

Where did the team 1040 clowns get Higgins/Burrows/Krug from? Dreger never mentions any of this.....
- Nucker101

Dreger is a f*ing turd... who cares what that joker mentions... see my comment above.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but I think Vancouver should make a deal with Edmonton. Not sure what type of deal, as long as it strengthens their team.

Taj on twitter seems to think it was Kassisan who was the focus point of yesterdays trade rumours with Bruins

Kassian reminds me of Steve Bernier so I would be ok with it

Sbisa is a RFA next year and he is being paid 2mil plus ? is that a contract you want to keep or move?

KAssian for Rielly Smith?

Friedman "the Bruins are active right now for a player with edge. That's their identity & they're lacking it right now"

KAssian for Rielly Smith?
- manvanfan

No - they'd never do that IMO.

Friedman "if they [Boston] can get him [Kassian] to be who he can be, and he hasn't been that yet, he will be what they're missing"

Friedman "I think Boston is willing to take a chance on Kassian because he won't cost as much"

Pisses me off that another player with Vancouver turns out to be a fail. Gillis was terrible . Our Drafting and development sucks.

I think it will change in the new regime. At least I don't think it will get any worse.

So far I think we have just found a more entertaining way to lose. This core needs a huge facelift. We are falling back into our same old habits

This team needs an identity. I really don't know what they are at this point..... other than aging

- Mungo

Cam Neely didn't come cheap, Boston gave up a two time 100 point center to acquire Neely, people forget that because of revisionary history. Neely was playing behind Smyl and Tanti, the Canucks needed a center in the worst way.

the B's should prolly get something for Krug... but for the love of jebus, noo Kass or Burr

Very very difficult to make changes in today's NHL world, but I'd do agree, this team NEEDS changes!!!
